Create a Culture of Resilience and Agility
Leadership Course
Organizational change is a fact of business life. Reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, technology implementations, and other business initiatives are disruptive because they require large numbers of people to change at the same time.
Change efforts often fail because the organization and their leaders lack the framework and skills to guide their people through it effectively. Failed or stalled change initiatives waste time and money, reduce productivity and engagement, and increase employee turnover.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We know the most successful companies are agile and embrace change as part of their culture to stay ahead of the competition. We know change is difficult and overwhelming if you don’t have a track record of success and people start resisting the change and derailing it.
Blanchard's Leading People Through Change® (LPTC) program teaches your executives and managers how to lead successful change initiatives by involving others throughout the change process. Collaborative conversations allow challenges and concerns to be identified early for people to understand why the change is needed, what to change, and how to do it. This high-involvement approach decreases the feeling of being controlled and builds momentum for the change. LPTC is a high-involvement, collaborative solution that invites all affected parties into the change process. This inclusive approach draws on academic research about leading organizational change and Blanchard’s 40+ years of experience in the field. It proactively teaches leaders the mindset, skills, process, and tools needed to successfully initiate, implement, and sustain changes, great or small, over time.

Leading People Through Change® applies to change initiatives of all types and sizes. It is a proven model for leading organizational change that addresses the most common reasons that change efforts fail. The program is based on the core belief that the best way to implement change is to increase the involvement of the people being asked to change by surfacing and resolving their concerns and leveraging their insights, ideas, and best practices. The two cornerstones of the LPTC framework are the Concerns Model and the value of High-Involvement Change.
When people are given the opportunity to be involved in the process and their concerns are heard and addressed, they are less likely to resist change. When you have buy-in and commitment early on from the people you are asking to change, they will feel good about the direction of the organization and you’ll get results faster. Don’t risk wasted time, effort, and money on failed change initiatives. Equip your leaders to make sure they’re a success.
